5. Payment for Web Design and Development

5.1 Because of the nature of the work some additional terms apply to website design and development.

5.2 We may require staged payments for Web Design and Development. This will be clearly set out in our Quotation and the provision of services will be dependent upon adherence to the staged payments.

5.4 Progress to the next stage in Web Design and Development is dependent upon timely payment of each staged payment.

We will always use our best endeavours to ensure it is completed within the timescale you stipulate but cannot accept any responsibility for delayed delivery of the completed job.

5.7 The sole exception to paragraph 5.5. above is in exceptional circumstances where, prior to the start of work on a specific project, we and you have negotiated an agreed deduction in case of late delivery and an agreed bonus in case of early delivery. This exception must be confirmed in writing before commencement of any work and an escrow payment may be required in order for this provision to apply.

6. Our status

6.1 We may provide links on our site to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking that products or services you purchase from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our website will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are DISCLAIMED by us absolutely. This DISCLAIMER does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller.

7. Consumer rights

7.1 If you are buying as a consumer (i.e., not within the course of your business), the Consumer Contracts Regulations will apply where relevant.

7.2 This provision does not otherwise affect your statutory rights.

8. Cancellation of Services

8.1 You may cancel most of the services supplied by us at any time. A notice period may be required. Different terms apply for services provided under 8.3 below.

8.2 We may charge a cancellation fee for certain services and there may be additional termination or transfer fees payable according to the status of the service you are cancelling. Once we have received notice of cancellation any fees required to complete closure of your account must be paid in advance.

8.2 Cancellation of services paid for in advance does not entitle you to a refund of any unused portion of the period for which the Services were ordered. Under certain circumstances we may offer a partial refund but this is on an ex gratia basis and is granted at our sole discretion.

8.3 Some services may only be cancelled at renewal date, and subject to advance notice of 90 days. This provision applies to items where payment is required in advance, including:

8.3.1 Hosting Services;

8.3.2 Domain Registration and Renewal Services; and

8.3.3 Use of SSL certificates and other ‘add on’ products.

9. Price and payment

9.1 The price of any Services will be as quoted on our website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. We are not registered for VAT and so will not add it to your invoice.

9.2 The total cost of your order of the Services will be set out clearly in advance of your order.

9.3 Prices are liable to change at any time. We will notify you of a change in our prices at least thirty (30) days before the price increase comes into force. Any such price increase will not be effective until the Minimum Term (as defined in clause 20.3) expires. If you do not agree to such price changes, please cancel your Services in accordance with clause 20.3.1. If you do not cancel you will be deemed to have accepted the new prices, and they will be charged to your account.

9.4 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Services listed on our website and elsewhere may be incorrectly priced. Where a Service’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when accepting your order. If a Service’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before accepting your order, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

9.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Services to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Acceptance Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

9.6 Please note that when purchasing a Service, you are obliged to pay for that Service for the whole of the Minimum Term (as defined in clause 20.3) that applies to it (unless you have cancelled the Service under clause 8.1) even though you may pay by monthly direct debit payments. Consequently, you must not cancel your direct debit payments without first cancelling your Services under clause 20.3.1. If you do so, we will seek to recover any outstanding payments due to us by other means, including by taking appropriate legal action.

9.7 Time for payment shall be of the essence. No payment shall be deemed to have been received until we have received cleared funds. If your payment is not received within our stated payment period we may, at our discretion, suspend or terminate any Services we provide to you from time to time, even if payment in respect of such Services is not outstanding.

10. Quality

10.1 We warrant that (subject to the other provisions of these terms and conditions) any Services purchased from us through our website will be provided with reasonable care and skill.

10.2 We will not be liable for a breach of the warranty in clause 10.1 unless:

10.2.1 you give written notice of the breach to us; and

10.2.2 we are given a reasonable opportunity after receiving the notice of examining our provision of the Services to you.

10.3 We will not be liable for a breach of the warranty in clause 10.1 if:

10.3.1 the problem arises because you failed to follow our oral or written instructions as to the use of the Services (if there are any); or

10.3.2 you alter the Services without our written consent; or

10.3.3 the problem arises because of misuse; or

10.3.4 the problem arises because of an infringement of our Acceptable Use Policy.

10.4 Subject to clause 10.2 and clause 10.3, if we are in breach of the warranty in clause 10.1 we will, at our expense, use all reasonable commercial efforts to remedy the breach promptly or refund the price of the Services at the pro rata Contract price. This constitutes your sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the warranty set out in clause 10.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not warrant that your use of the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

10.5 We reserve the right to modify the Services without notice to you provided such modification does not adversely effect your access to, or use of, the Services or detract from the overall performance of the Services. Any change which may have such adverse effect on you or may detract from the overall performance of the Services will be notified to you at least thirty (30) days prior to the change taking effect.

10.6 You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on our behalf which is not set out in our Terms and Conditions and associated documents or pages, or otherwise confirmed in writing by us. Nothing in this clause will exclude or limit our liability to you for fraudulent misrepresentation.

11. Search Engine Optimisation

We may also install and deploy scripts, metatags and other devices to enhance your website’s visibility, though we do not undertake to do so in all circumstances.

11.3 Apart from these best practice provisions we offer no warranty, undertaking or guarantee regarding your website’s visibility on search engines.

11.4 If search engine visibility is important to your business our advice is as follows:

Employ a reputable and effective search engine optimisation company

As the owner of your website, investigate and act upon procedures for maximising your website’s exposure, both online and offline

We are always happy to advise on this area, as with any other matter pertaining to getting best value out of your website.

We will send you renewal notices in advance of the renewal date of your registered domain name. These notices will be sent to the email address then registered against your account.

We will have no liability to defend or indemnify you if the alleged infringement is based on:

19.7.1 a modification of the Hosting Services by anyone other than us;
